Christmas is literally a week away today, so it's opportune to let you all know about our opening hours etc., during the holiday period.

Our offices will be closing this Thursday 21st December and will re-open on 2nd January 2007 at 9am.

We will be monitoring our support desk during the holiday period, so please feel free to use our help desk as normal.

Any dedicated / colocation clients are asked to use the out of hours contact numbers that they have been given.

The IE Domain Registry will be closed over the Christmas period, so if you need any DNS updates or other changes please get them to us ASAP, or you will have to wait until January ie. next year!!

From the entire team at Blacknight I'd like to take this opportunity to wish our clients, suppliers and partners a Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

We look forward to doing business with you in 2007!

Watch this space for exciting special offers and other news ...........

With Christmas only a couple of weeks away we thought it was time we got some seasonal banners and button ads, so we contacted our friends in SpoiltChild Design and this is what they came up with:

120 x 60 button - suitable for blogs, sidebars and other sites where screen space is at a premium.

728 * 90 leaderboard. This format works very well on fora and other sites that can take an oversized banner.

468 x 60 banner ad. Probably the most popular ad format for online advertising.

Skyscraper 120 x 600. The skyscraper is, like its name suggests, tall and thin

Our Christmas flavoured print ads are also using this design, as well as a couple of other ones, so we'll probably post them as soon as we can get our hands on some gifs or jpegs.

Happy Christmas by the way !!
